Bringing back the old project

Hello.

I recently brought back my old Dungeon Lords project to develop it again. I wanted to launch a test game, but cannot start any when I click on Express Start button. I'm receiving this error that is coming from the gameserver:

Propagating error from gameserver 1 (method: createGame): BGA service error (reference: GS1 01/10 12:28:24) (reference: GS0 01/10 12:28:24)

Stack trace:
#0 /var/tournoi/release/tournoi-230921-1000/www/game/module/mainsite/tablemanager.game.php(8987): APP_DbObject->gameserverNodeRequest()

#4 /var/tournoi/release/tournoi-230921-1000/www/index.php(310): launchWebAction()
#5 {main}

As I cannot see the backend code related to the BGA service I kindly request for any information what caused this exception.

as the error happens during methd createGame, it's often related to database tables or statistics...

Yeah, I found that I can't even go to db page which was available to log in into db at the address https://db.1.studio.boardgamearena.com.

Troubleshooting issues at game start is the most annoying problem in BGA development indeed :(
Runnig a project is 80% of success and when it's failing after any changes - I slowly roll it back until it works. Have never revived an old project, sorry :(
Maybe building from a scratch will work and then you could slowly add pieces of your code and check if it breaks?

Ok, I see that the address was changed to https://studio.boardgamearena.com/db/index.php.

Hi Hornir91.
I am a big fan of Dungeon Lords / Dungeon Petz. I used to play on boiteajeux.net but they took down the site recently. If there is something I could help you with - ping me (I am a backend developer with outdated frontend knowledge :) )
Anyway, please keep us informed on the project.
Good luck.
